2) For decreasing concentrations, the adjustment time for nonane is about 50 seconds.
3) For alkanes from methane to nonane, LEL-values in accordance with EN 60079-20-1. For flow speeds of 0 to 6 m/s the deviation of the display can be 5 - 10 % of the measuring value.
For an adjustment to propane, the deviation of the display in the range of 80 to 120 kPa can be up to 6 %LEL.
4) Certified for 0.4 to 100 ppm
5) Certified for 3 to 500 ppm
6) The instrument responds to most combustible gases and vapours. The sensitivities differ depending on the type of gas. We recommend a calibration using the target gas to be measured.
For the range of alkanes, the sensitivity decreases from methane to nonane.
7) The measuring signals can be affected negatively by ethane, ethene, ethine, carbon dioxide and hydrogen.
8) The measuring signals may be additively affected by sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and hydrogen, and negatively affected by chlorine.
9) The measuring signals can be affected additively by acetylene, hydrogen and nitrogen monoxide.
